Carlos Cruz-Diez commission on display in Colchester

Carlos Cruz-Diez has designed op-art schemes for several pedestrian crossings in Colchester, including one at the University of Essex Colchester Campus. Cruz-Diez’s crossing designs were first produced as temporary interventions in his native city of Caracas in 1975 and have subsequently been seen all over the world. This will be the first time that the work has been produced in the UK, commissioned by firstsite as part of its opening season with the assistance of Colchester Borough Council, National Express East Anglia and the University of Essex. UECLAA has worked with Cruz-Diez since 1996 and is delighted to support this commission.
